Chapter 103 The Prince’s Wedding
In August, Yihuan sent Yuxiao away in great style and allowed her to marry directly from the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion. The dowry of Shibatai was filled to the brim, and the most important item was an inkstone that Yihuan got from Yinzhen. The size of this item made all the maids in the Prince's Mansion envious.

She went from being a servant to the mistress of the house, and directly from a slave to a good citizen. Her marriage was so glorious, and with the good things of the prince as the center, no one would dare to look down on her when she arrived at her husband's house. She had both the inside and the outside, and from then on everyone tried their best to get into the main courtyard to serve.

There is no other reason, they are all just serving others. If they follow the right master, they will be able to succeed.

Yihuan felt very inconvenient after leaving Yuxiao. Yuxue was smart enough, but not as skilled as Yuxiao. Fortunately, she and Yuling were complementary. Yihuan lamented that she was completely corrupted by capital and actually began to be picky.

Three days after the wedding, it was a good day for the wedding to return to her parents' home. Yu Xiao came to pay her respects to Yi Huan with a happy face. Yu Xue brought a small stool for her and came to the door to guard the space for the former master and servant to talk.

Yihuan looked her up and down and saw that Yuxiao was wearing brighter clothes than when she was with her. She also had more jewelry, some of which were not given by her. She knew what was going on: "Sit down. How are you these days?"

Yu Xiao's happiness didn't seem fake: "To reply to Madam, I've been very happy these past few days. Although my husband doesn't talk much, he listens to me in everything. My mother-in-law has already handed over the household chores to me. I just miss Madam a little. I've been serving you all these years, and I'm afraid those two girls are not satisfactory."

Yihuan nodded: "Don't worry about me, just live your life well. If someone dares to bother you, and your husband can't handle it, just come to me. Also, you don't have to call me a slave, you are now a decent citizen."

"I am willing to serve Madam Fu Jin for the rest of my life." Yu Xiao said with a bit of sadness, "Madam Fu Jin treats me well, and I will remember it in my heart."

"Come to think of it, I do have something I want to ask you. I wonder if you can do it." Yihuan took out a token from the table, on which was written the word "wine".

"The shop that Ninth Lady and I opened is now in need of a second manager to take care of the accounts. The first manager is a business expert sponsored by Ninth Master." Yihua handed her the token. "You have been with me in handling the affairs of the mansion for many years, and you are already familiar with the accounts. How about you take over?"

"I am willing. I am willing." Yu Xiao knelt down to take the token. She didn't expect that Fu Jin would leave such an important position for her. She saw with her own eyes how much Fu Jin cared about this shop.

"Hurry up and stop kneeling." Yihuan said with a smile, "It's not in vain to use you. According to the rules of the managers in the capital, you will be paid 100 taels of silver per month. Your mother-in-law will not say anything more."

"Fujin, isn't this too much?"

"Silly, you still think money is a pain in the ass. This is what you deserve." Yihuan took a sip of tea, "Yuxiao, don't betray my trust in you."

"I will definitely live up to your trust." Yu Xiao put away the token and walked away with confidence.

Yuxue came into the room to add tea to Yihuan: "Sister Yuxiao looks energetic as if she is going to the battlefield."

"You are the only one who can talk." Yihuan was amused.

******
August 12th was the best day in the second half of this year as given by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, for the Crown Prince to marry his second wife.

Organized by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department in accordance with the old system, the Crown Princess's procession marched from the palace with music and dance all the way around the main road, giving the people of the capital a feast for the eyes, before arriving at the gate of the Tong family.

Unlike the deserted and dilapidated scene in front of the imprisoned Longkodo's mansion, the Tong family where Tong Guining lived was so lively that the threshold was about to be trampled down by people, which showed how lively it was.

Yihuan followed Yinzhen to Yuqing Palace with her children early in the morning. Yinzhen went to the front yard to entertain the guests with Prince Zhi and others. Yihuan led the children to stand in the team of the princes' wives, waiting for the arrival of the bride.

Dong E and Yi Huan whispered to each other: "Ever since Yue Xing'a joined the Imperial Guard, I heard that the Crown Prince has been very caring towards her. Now another female member of the Tong family has come, but I don't know which member of the Tong family will be more important in the Crown Prince's heart in the future."

Yihuan rolled her eyes silently and said, "Third sister-in-law, you really worry too much."

"I haven't seen which little boy will be rolling on the bed today." Yihuan looked around. Although Liuliu was of the right age, she was a girl and she was afraid that it would be a bad omen and ask the Crown Princess to only give birth to girls, so she wanted a boy to roll on the bed.

When Yihua knew about this rule, she was furious. What does having a boy or girl have to do with a boy rolling on the bed? Liuliu in her family doesn't roll on any bed. Whoever wants to do this job can do it. Fortunately, the Fourteenth Prince is Liuliu's uncle, and it was at his insistence that Liuliu rolled on the bed once.

"It's Prince Yu's youngest son." Dong E pointed behind the curtain, "He's dressing up in the back."

"Come to think of it, Honghui is now old enough to understand the ways of the world. Have you put a maid in his room?" Dong E began to exchange parenting experiences with Yihuan.

"What maid?"

"A maidservant."

"What?!" Yihua's high-pitched voice attracted the attention of those around her. She calmed down and said, "He is so young, why would he need this?"

In modern times, he is not even a junior high school student. If he holds a little girl's hand, he will be accused of being a hooligan. At this age, he doesn't study hard and still wants to be with a beautiful woman. How beautiful he is!
"You're not young anymore. Didn't you, Fourth Brother's wife, marry the Fourth Prince before you even reached the age of 15? If you look at it this way, it has only been a few years. It's impossible that you didn't understand these things when Honghui got married." Dong E found it a bit strange. Why did Yihuan react so strongly?

"This is a marriage granted by the Emperor. Honghui and I are different." Yihuan retorted, "Let's talk about it when he is fifteen."

"Then you have to keep a close eye on them. I have dealt with a few restless maids in Hongqing's room. Even if I let them go, I cannot let a few vixens go." Dong E said with gritted teeth, obviously she was angry.

"How many?!" Yihua said bitterly, "Hongqing is still young, Third Sister-in-law, think twice and don't let these girls change your temperament."

"One is not enough. You have to try both gentle and lively ones. Only then you can know what kind he likes." Every word of Dong E was challenging Yihuan's nerves.

Seeing Yihuan's bad complexion, Jiu Fujin came over and said, "Fourth sister-in-law seems a little dizzy. Why don't you go out and get some fresh air?"

Yihuan wanted nothing more than to run away. In Dong E's eyes, she was simply running away.

It was really inexplicable. Dong E ignored Yihuan and started to screen the girls she had been paying attention to these days.

"What's wrong with you, sister-in-law?" Ninth Lady handed Yihua a fruit. "I just took it from the house. Sister-in-law, moisten your throat."

"Mother doesn't want my eldest brother to get married." Liuliu raised his head and interrupted with a look as if he had seen through everything.

"Liuliu should talk to Auntie." Like a magic trick, Ninth Lady handed a fruit to Liuliu.

After thanking her, the little girl just focused on eating and didn't even remember to talk to the Ninth Lady.

Yihua rubbed Liuliu's little head and said, "Third sister-in-law is talking to me about putting someone in Honghui's room."

The Ninth Lady smiled and said, "It's a little early, but we have to take our time to select people. It might take half a year or a year to look at them one by one. It's better to prepare first."

The sweetness in Yihua's mouth suddenly faded: "I don't care about others. Honghui has to think about this matter on the 15th."

If it wasn't too shocking, he would have to wait until he was eighteen. Has the underage kid's hair grown out yet?!

Today's chapter was not originally like this. According to the straightforward narrative of the previous chapter, there should be a reversal here, but I am a little reluctant. I want Honghui, who I wrote, to happily spend this day in history, and every day after that, so I pushed the timeline a bit. I hope you like it~
